Students will develop substantial components of a training fellowship proposal., 2 credits |
| PSL 7490 Translational & Integrative Physiology | This course focuses on selected, current topics in physiology with the intention of highlighting and bridging basic physiological principles with clinical diseases, diagnostic approaches, or therapies. The course will provide an in-depth, interactive lecture session discussing physiological principles from laboratory to clinic by paired instructors: a basic scientist and a clinician in the respective field (e.g., cardiac physiology/cardiology). Each instructional item will be addressed from a basic physiological perspective and a clinical perspective while stressing the translational aspects bridging the two. Note that translation interactions are bidirectional with basic principles informing clinical aspects and/or clinical questions/challenges producing ideas for basic research. Prerequisites: PSL 7010/11 and PSL 7030/31 and consent of the instructor |
| PSL 7640 Cell and Molecular Physiology | The goal of the course is to introduce you to different aspects of cell and molecular physiology, help you identify unanswered questions, to introduce methods and to train you in developing experimental approaches to unanswered problems. Prereq: PSL 7010 or IBS 7015 and consent of the instructor. Offered winter semester odd years, 3 credits Dr. Paulo Caceres Puzzella - Coordinator |
| PSL 7680 Endocrinology | A detailed emphasis on current research. Student participation encouraged; each student required to present a one hour lecture. Prereq: PSL 7010 (PSL 7011). Offered winter semester, 4 credits Dr. Zhibing Zhang - Coordinator |
| PSL 7685 Reproductive Physiology Seminar | This course covers principles and translational components of reproduction and associated disease states including endocrinology, infertility, contraception, recurrent pregnancy loss, menopause, and reproductive immunology. This weekly seminar series exposes students to the work of their departmental peers and faculty as well as external speakers who are invited monthly. This seminar series aims to broaden the knowledge and expertise of the participating students in the field of reproductive biology, as well as strengthening networking opportunities with the external speakers through post-seminar roundtable discussion. Offered winter semester, 1 credit Dr. Gil Mor- Coordinator |
| PSL 7740 (PSY 7740) Developmental Systems in Reproductive Biology | Theoretical foundations course in development emphasizing contemporary developmental systems theory and its relevant applications to reproductive biology. Prereq: plan of study; consent of coordinator. Offered winter odd years, 3 credit TBD - Coordinator |
